Kongsrivilai said: "This year's Bacardi Legacy is in full swing now and we're thrilled to see so many bartenders from around the UK challenging themselves to come up with a cocktail that can go onto be a Legacy winner.

"Today's bartenders recognise the great opportunity that Legacy presents for them to make a name for themselves and progress their careers by showcasing their creativity and skills.

"For the brand, it's more than that; it gives us a chance to inspire and connect with the new talent emerging in the bar scene and welcome them into the BACARDÍ family."

The Bacardi Legacy Cocktail Competition is now in its sixth year. It aims to find a cocktail that will in time stand alongside the Daiquiri or the Mojito

Last year's global competition, which was held in Sydney, was won by Frank Dedieu of the Redwood Bar in Lyon.
